Fool For Books Giveaway Hop: The Uncoupling

Welcome to Fool for Books Giveaway Hop at In The Next Room. I'm offering one copy of The Uncoupling by Meg Wolitzer.
Summary from Goodreads:
When the elliptical new drama teacher at Stellar Plains High School chooses for the school play Lysistrata-the comedy by Aristophanes in which women stop having sex with men in order to end a war-a strange spell seems to be cast over the school. Or, at least, over the women. One by one throughout the high school community, perfectly healthy, normal women and teenage girls turn away from their husbands and boyfriends in the bedroom, for reasons they don't really understand. As the women worry over their loss of passion, and the men become by turns unhappy, offended, and above all, confused, both sides are forced to look at their shared history, and at their sexual selves in a new light.

As she did to such acclaim with the New York Times bestseller The Ten-Year Nap, Wolitzer tackles an issue that has deep ramifications for women's lives, in a way that makes it funny, riveting, and totally fresh-allowing us to see our own lives through her insightful lens.

    The only plays I've ever seen were the shakespear ones we went to when i was in high school. Out of all of those I'd have to go with Hamlet. The actors did an amazing job and I was pulled right into the story. It was so easy to forget it was a play.

    Has to be a musical, of course . . .

    Well, I guess for argument's sake, I'll say Wicked. It's certainly in my top 10.

  70. Thanks for giving away such a cool sounding book! My favourite play is either The Moustrap or London Assurances - though when I saw both, I was fortunate enough to see them with such a great cast and sets and such, that it would have been impossible not to love them. Read, my favourite is probably No Exit by JPS. Just because, even now, 7 years after I read it, I am still mulling it over in my head. Freaky, right?
    Thanks!
